Heading to '''east/north-east'''? When you're on the street Taipaleentie, walk past the sawmill and you can start hitchiking on the roadside right after the first crossing to right (there might even be a bus stop if I remember right?).[[Category:Finland]]
no edit summary
'''Varkaus''' is a city in [[Finland]].
==Hitching in==
'''The highway number 5''' goes right through '''Varkaus''' and since it's a pretty small town, all the hh-spots are easy to reach. If you're coming from '''north-east''' (road #23) and being dropped off at the eastern part of the town, you might have to walk a couple of kilometers through the city to reach either the other end of the road #23 or the highway number 5. Just follow the street called Taipaleentie or the "Mikkeli/Jyväskylä/Kuopio"-signs. And the other way round: coming from south/west/north heading to east and being dropped off by the highway #5, walk through the city following the "Joensuu"-signs to reach the road #23.
==Hitching out==
===All directions===
There are 2 gas stations in the crossing of highway #5 and #23, where you can ask the drivers. These are pretty good places to ask rides to '''all directions'''. You can also try hitchiking '''on the ramps'''.
===Heading West===If you're going '''west towards [[Jyväskylä ]] and [[Tampere''']], you could also try hitchhiking in a bus stop next to the smaller gas station. ===Heading East/North-East===When you're on the street Taipaleentie, walk past the sawmill and you can start hitchiking on the roadside right after the first crossing to right (there might even be a bus stop if I remember right?).
